Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking dish with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and lime juice.

Place char fillets in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Let the fish marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Sprinkle salt over the fillets before baking.

Bake the char in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Meanwhile, cook rice according to package instructions.

Steam or sauté broccoli until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the fish is done, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Garnish the char with chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds before serving.

Serve the glazed char with rice and broccoli on the side.
